Sami Zayn talks to Roman Reigns in the ring with the rest of the OG Bloodline. He knows they all felt it when they were back together again. He knows Roman Reigns still loves him. Even he remembers the old days like everyone else. But if he wants him to walk away and never be a part of the Bloodline business, he will do it. However, if he does want him to be part of it, Reigns needs to do one thing. Apologize.
Roman questions this, but Sami does not want the apology, as he wants him to give it to Jey. Roman says he is sorry to Jey… that he ever wasted his time with this. This is about Solo Sikoa, and not Sami Zayn, who begins to walk away from the ring. Jacob Fatu appears on the big screen. Solo is everyone’s Tribal Chief, so he needs to get to the back of the line. He comes out there when he so pleases, and Roman will acknowledge that.
Backstage, Roman Reigns alienates both Jey and Jimmy to the point they want nothing to do with him.
#1. Bayley vs. Candice LeRae – Winner: Bayley
Randy Orton storms to the ring and demands Kevin Owens comes out there. He appears and they fight. Just as it looks like officials are keeping them apart, Owens grabs Orton and drops him on his head with a piledriver, a move banned in WWE for many years. He leaves and Orton is carefully placed on a stretcher. Cody Rhodes joins him as he is lifted in to an ambulance.
#2. DIY vs. Pretty Deadly – Winners: DIY
Nia Jax asks Tiffany Stratton why she got this match tonight, and she says it is because if they beat them, they will probably get a future title shot. Candice LeRae is there for some reason, and she tells Nia that had she been there at Crown Jewel, she would have beat Liv Morgan. Tiffany doesn’t like her wannabe opinions.
#3. Bianca Belair & Jade Cargill vs. Nia Jax & Tiffany Stratton – Winners: Belair & Cargill after interference from Candice LeRae and Naomi
#4. The Motor City Machine Guns vs. A-Town Down Under – Winners: MCMG
DIY come across Motor City Machine Guns, but just before they can say anything substantial, Street Profits interrupt them to announce they will face the Motor City Machine Guns next week for the tag team titles. Ciampa is livid with this and storms away. The champions are ready to take on all the best teams in WWE.
Nick Aldis unveils the brand new WWE Women’s United States Championship! It will not be handed over, as it will be earned, and he hopes the stacked women’s division on SmackDown is ready.
It is time for the Tribal Chief acknowledgement ceremony. Solo Sikoa says there is only one way to start this off. He tells Buffalo to acknowledge him. Roman Reigns enters immediately. Solo Sikoa tells Roman that he needs to acknowledge him as his undisputed Tribal Chief. Reigns asks Buffalo if they acknowledge Solo Sikoa. They yell no, and he agrees.
Roman challenges him to a match to become the one-and-only Tribal Chief. Sikoa laughs at that. He is already the Tribal Chief. But you know what? If he can find some people to team with, they can go to war. Reigns asks if he means War Games? There are only four of them. Sikoa counts four of them, and then adds Sami Zayn to his team.
Sami Zayn appears at the entrance. The Bloodline attacks Roman Reigns, and The Usos quickly join him, but they are outnumbered. Sikoa grabs Reigns and yells at Sami to get down there. Zayn joins them and thinks about it… but he kicks Sikoa! Reigns recovers and they fend off The Bloodline together. The OG Bloodline reunites in the ring like earlier. The Usos hold up the 1s. Sami Zayn holds up the 1. And finally, Roman Reigns holds up the 1. The OG Bloodline is officially back together ahead of War Games at Survivor Series.
